Your Horoscope for the Week of August 28

~*~VIRGO~*~

This is an excellent week to complete projects that have been delayed or stalled, and tap into what is really worth focusing on moving forward. Spend some time hunkered in at home, surrounded by friends and family so you can recharge a bit at the beginning of the week. With your ruler clever Mercury still retrograde, you may be questioning some things you thought you had already decided. On Thursday, Mercury moves backwards into Leo. Pay attention to your intuition, as well as the subtle (and not so subtle!) signals people are giving you. If someone's words and actions don't line up, you will have some major clarity about how to proceed this weekend.

~*~LIBRA~*~

You may be pleasantly surprised by what transpires this week. Until Wednesday, you will be super busy since the moon in your zone of neighborhood activities amps up your to-do list and connects you to lots of different people. But with verbal Mercury still retrograde and moving back into bold Leo on Thursday, you may have to re-do some conversations that you thought were already resolved. Be patient with others, since things could work out even better than they did the first time. Love is super hot this weekend, and you could meet someone who checks all your boxes. But don't let your tendency to sometimes have a rigid opinion of how things "should" be to alienate you from a true connection.

~*~SCORPIO~*~

There may be drama at work this week, but there could also be some positive resolution. Until Wednesday, the moon in your zone of income and values prompts you to focus only on immediate concerns. But with verbal Mercury still in retrograde, there could be frustrating miscommunications with various associates or some bickering amongst your friend group; try to stay out of the fray. On Thursday, Mercury retrograde moves back in to Leo and you may be on the hot seat about a decision at work from the past. Choose your words very carefully this weekend. If you can find an innovative, authentic solution, things may resolve even better than you hoped.

~*~SAGITTARIUS~*~

You could be facing some unforeseen obstacles this week, but try not to get too frustrated. The moon in your sign until Wednesday brings you added charm and opportunities, so be open to new people or ideas that present themselves. Mercury is still retrograde and may bring a disappointing work conversation. Instead of getting too down, take it as an opportunity to revise your vision, especially since Mercury moves back into your zone of big-picture ideas on Thursday. This weekend could bring a major epiphany if you are open to seeing things from a fresh perspective. Just remember to be diplomatic with others and be a good listener (rather than only pushing your own ideas).

~*~CAPRICORN~*~

This is a good week to rest and reflect. The moon is in your zone of privacy and intuition until Wednesday, so you'll benefit from canceling your plans and just chilling or taking a contemplative walk in nature to recharge. Intellectual Mercury is still retrograde and on Thursday moves back into your zone of sex and intimacy. If you have something on your mind you have been reluctant to share with someone, you can finally have "the talk" this weekend. Be honest about your feelings, but avoid any tendencies to lose your temper or blame others. If you can approach the situation with the intention of healing or positive resolution, you can break out of an emotional drama that's been draining you- once and for all!

~*~AQUARIUS~*~

You are finally pausing and reflecting a bit after the past month's series of intense eclipses. Taking time to pamper yourself and do the things you love most, including time with your besties, helps you recharge at the beginning of the week. But verbal Mercury is still retrograde and on Thursday will move back into bold Leo. Conversations you need to have with a partner or something that was said recently that just didn't sit well will need to be addressed now. Have those conversations this weekend when you can resolve things even better than you imagined. Just make sure to be a good listener and not make snap judgements. Sparks could also fly this weekend if you're single.

~*~PISCES~*~

Work is top priority this week and you'll finally feel like you are turning a corner with important projects. The moon is in your zone of fame and success until Wednesday so it's an ideal time to amp up the charm with VIPs and put your best foot forward at work. Verbal Mercury is still in retrograde and may be giving you some mixed messages when it comes to your primary relationships. Try to be patient with others. But when Mercury moves back into your zone of routine and co-workers on Thursday, you may need to clear up an issue with people you work with or details related to a project. You can create meaningful improvements and possibly even boost your income if you revitalize your strategy this weekend.

~*~ARIES~*~

You're ready to move on to the nitty gritty when it comes to a big project, but there is more work to be done revising your strategy. The moon in your zone of travel and adventure until Wednesday prompts you to break out of your routine and do something spontaneous — it just may give you a bold new idea! But with intelligent Mercury still retrograde, you are having a harder time than usual getting things off the ground. On Thursday, Mercury moves back into confident Leo and prompts you to revisit an issue that's been coming up all summer. It's important to be open to a fresh approach this weekend. Some very exciting things are in store!

~*~TAURUS~*~

Your confidence has been building recently and you're ready for a fresh chapter, but this week is an important time to tie up loose ends before moving on. The moon in your zone of intimacy and power until Wednesday prompts you to spend time considering your deepest desires and motivations. You're also in the mood for some playful fun, but with intelligent Mercury still in retrograde, you may feel like you are of two minds about everything. Mercury returns to proud Leo on Thursday and prompts you to address lingering family issues that haven't been resolved. Pull the trigger and have difficult conversations this weekend. If you can get through it now, you can leave this drama in the past permanently.

~*~GEMINI~*~

Do your best to relax and go with the flow this week. The moon in your opposite sign of Sagittarius until Wednesday will strengthen your connection to bae and the other people in your life if you remember to look at things from their perspective too. The beginning of the week is also ideal for dates or socializing! Your ruler, intelligent Mercury, is still retrograde though and on Thursday it slides back into bold Leo. If there are communication issues you have been putting off addressing, now is the time to do it. You could connect on many deep levels with someone you meet this weekend, just remember that you can't take back what's said in haste.

~*~CANCER~*~

You're focused on work this week, so you'll have the chance to address some lingering issues. The moon is revving up your zone of daily routine and health until Wednesday, so get yourself back on track by being rigorous about your gym schedule. Mercury retrograde is up to its usual tricks and, on Thursday, it slides back into fiery Leo, prompting you to reconsider a financial situation you thought had already been resolved. Speak your mind and be bold about what you want — things can work out even better than you imagined now!

~*~LEO~*~

Some of the big puzzle pieces that have been shifting since last week's epic eclipse in your sign are still falling into place now. The moon in your zone of true love and fun until Wednesday is a good reminder to only put your energy into people and situations that bring you pleasure. But with Mercury still retrograde and sliding back into your sign on Thursday, something you said or did recently could re-surface since you need to clarify your perspective in order to pave the way forward. Your confidence is strong this weekend and travel is auspicious, but just make sure you honor all of your plans, commitments, and agreements.
